Commenting out this focus() seemed to fix the issue locally, at the cost of not focusing.

Saving, focusing, then restoring seems to produce the correct behavior everywhere.

• In Safari, Firefox and Chrome, typed a ton of text into a remarkup area (more than the height of the area, so it has a scrollbar).
• Selected some text near the top.
• Clicked "B" to bold the text.
• Scroll position remained the same in all browsers (previously: in Chrome, it changed).
